Is there a way to do a hotspot question in a Quiz? I thought I saw it demo'd and that it was called something else - not "hotspot" but I do not remember/cannot find it with a search. Any ideas? Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hotspot questions are not currently offered in Canvas Quizzes, but have been frequently requested. According to Canvas through stefaniesanders, it is now on the Product Radar, https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/4525-hot-spot-question-type . Maybe it will be added to the Priority: Quizzes.Next‌ upgrade, or the the upgrade version after that.

Here's an immediate workaround until it becomes available. As a social studies teacher in human_geography and history classes, I label maps with alphabetic characters, and create matching questions, creating a hybrid albeit old school labeling question that works great in digital assessments. I can easily envision how an anatomy image could be labeled and used to create a Canvas assessment question too.
